This is the last blog post I will be making for the Seismic SOS project!. If anyone has been keeping up with or has read my weekly reports page you will see that it has been a huge learning process for me, and I just want to say that I am very grateful to have been given this opportunity by 52°North, GSOC 2013, and the open source community.more >
Seismic Observations in SOS, Midterm Report
This is the midterm update for my GSOC project to integrate seismic data support in SOS. My progress was relatively slow at the start due to a learning curve related to the SOS code base. I have made a lot of progress recently. My main goal for the midterm milestone was to have the SOS set up as a proxy data source querier that could take requests from the server and return seismic data, in time series and/or event format. I wanted to be able to create my own instance of SOS where it was possible to use operations such as GetCapabilities, DescribeSensor, and GetObservation to pull data and simulate what a user might ask for in the SWE client. For details on this architecture, please refer to the SOS Wikipedia page.more >
Seismic Modeling using SOS and SWE
This week, we will have one blog post by each of this year’s Google Summer of Code students presenting their project and themselves. After Khalid posted his blog, it is now Patrick’s turn!
This is the first blog post for the Google Summer of Code 2013 project being organized by 52°North and me with the goal of adding support for seismic data in the existing applications Sensor Observation Service (SOS) and Sensor Web (SWE). These applications currently function in unison to provide a user with sensor data; to display both the sensor location on a map, as well as the corresponding graphical information the user asks for. The data formats that are supported right now are based on climate and hydrology sensing and the applications have so far existed for the purpose of analyzing this sort of observation information.
